Automation engineered around your vessel.
Every vessel has different machinery, operational requirements and integration challenges. We develop marine automation solutions around the actual needs of the vessel — from individual control applications to complete vessel-wide automation systems.
Marine automation is not about fitting a standard control system onto every vessel.
The right solution starts with understanding the machinery, the vessel architecture, the operating philosophy and the people who will use the system.
We can work with an existing automation architecture, integrate new equipment into an established system, modernise legacy control systems or develop a completely new solution from the ground up.
Our engineering approach is technology-independent: the objective is a reliable, maintainable and serviceable system that performs onboard.
From individual control functions to complete vessel automation.
We can develop, integrate and support automation systems across the different layers of a vessel’s control architecture.
Machinery Control
Control and monitoring applications for engines, pumps, compressors, valves, fans and other vessel machinery.
PLC Engineering
PLC software development, sequence control, interlocks, permissives, state machines and machinery automation logic.
HMI & Operator Interfaces
Clear operator interfaces for machinery control, alarms, status monitoring, trends and operational information.
Alarm & Safety Logic
Alarm handling, shutdown logic, interlocks, permissives and control functions designed around vessel operational requirements.
Communication & Integration
Integration of PLCs, HMIs, sensors, drives, generators and third-party equipment through industrial communication networks.
Vessel-Wide Automation
Integration of multiple control systems into a coordinated vessel automation environment.
Built around the machinery, not around a template.
Our engineering process starts with the actual requirements of the vessel. We analyse the machinery and interfaces before defining the control architecture.
This allows us to develop solutions that can be adapted to different vessel types, machinery configurations and operational philosophies.
Requirement & System Analysis
Understanding machinery, existing systems, operational requirements, I/O and interfaces.
Control Architecture
Defining PLC, HMI, communication, I/O and system architecture around the vessel.
Software Development
Developing control logic, sequences, alarms, interfaces and communication functions.
Integration & Testing
Functional testing, system integration, commissioning and onboard verification.
Open architecture. Flexible integration.
Marine systems rarely consist of equipment from a single manufacturer. We design automation around the interfaces between systems and equipment.
PLC Systems
PLC-based control applications for machinery, auxiliary systems and vessel automation.
HMI & SCADA
Operator interfaces, supervisory monitoring, alarms, trends and operational data.
Industrial Communication
Integration through industrial communication technologies such as Modbus, CAN and Ethernet.
Generator & PMS Integration
Integration of generator controllers and power management functions into the vessel automation environment.
Monitoring & Performance
Operational data, trends, alarms and performance information for improved vessel awareness.
Existing Systems
Integration, modification and gradual modernisation of existing automation systems.
If the standard solution does not fit, we build one.
Every vessel does not need to fit the same automation architecture.
We can develop application-specific control solutions from the ground up when a vessel has unique machinery, interfaces or operational requirements.
Engineering does not stop when the software is delivered.
We support the system through integration, commissioning, troubleshooting and onboard modifications.
From factory testing to sea trials and operational support, the objective is the same: a control system that works reliably on the vessel.
